Where’s the diet fairy?

So I figured I could just stop dieting. Just eat right and listen to my gut. For goodness sakes, I know what to do. No more diets, I said it and I meant it. I do need to lose weight. I’ve gained weight and I have to get it off and I am convinced that another diet won’t make it happen. So what do I do? My plan was to eat intuitively, cut down my portions and avoid too much sugar because that just makes me crave more. The trouble is there’s no order to it. No real restrictions and I want, hate, need, expect, rely on, restrictions to lose weight.

So far I haven’t been too successful and what’s worse, I’ve been eating crap. Yep, crap. It’s that damn ‘all or nothing’ thinking that has me messed up and has plagued me for years.

I don’t need a diet, I need a magic wand to make that distorted thinking disappear forever. Whoosh and away it goes…wouldn’t that be nice.

Maybe the diet fairy will pass my way…until then I am not giving in.
